Revision Explanation Dialog Box

You may be required to provide an explanation if you revise a previously saved timesheet. If an explanation is required, the Revision Explanation dialog box displays automatically.

The requirement to explain a revision and other timesheet processing capabilities depend on how your system administrator defines settings in Vision. Contact your system administrator if you have questions.
